This year saw the rise of a few new faces that are on the verge of becoming ‘household names’, from the Great One’s very social daughter, Paulina Gretzky, to Miss Universe Canada contestant Jenna Talackova. Many videos captured the imagination, like those strange sounds that came from Alberta in January, to a failed cannonball by a German on a frozen pool.

Fun was also had with social media. We loved watching Americans Tweet about moving to Canada, first after Obamacare, and then with more force after the November election.

Viral stories touch a nerve with our readers, and our top 22 were no exception. The death of Amanda Todd, who committed suicide after being bullied, resonated with readers across the country. Our No. 1 pick was a beautiful video that you’ll see in our list below.
